MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

Chef Patrick Hennessy spent time at many top spots, including Eleven Madison Park in New York, but he is clearly at home at Barbara. The kitchen feels like a stage, with guests perched at the L-shaped bar watching with bated breath as he performs culinary magic. 
Should you wonder where each item hails from, Chef Hennessy is happy to oblige (hint: it's local and sustainable), but most are focused on the here and now thanks to his refined techniques and sensational flavors. Oysters with local Northern Divine caviar are impeccable; crisply fried slices of Japanese eggplant with local honey and chimichurri are delightful. Simple-sounding broccolini is cooked to precise tenderness, then plated with perfectly toasted almond romesco sauce for a sensational bite.
